Gears 5 is a third-person shooter video game developed by The Coalition and published by Xbox Game Studios for Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X. It is the fifth installment of the Gears of War series and the sequel to Gears of War 4. The ultimate edition was released on September 6, 2019, while the standard edition of the game was released worldwide on September 10, 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Ultra preset, with Best Animation Quality (instead of Auto), VRS disabled, DX12 API.

Gears 5 is another AMD title, but just like the Division 2, the 6700 XT isn't doing so hot here. The performance is still solid at 1080p, delivering 111FPS on average, which is 5% more frame than the RTX 3060 Ti.

At 1440p though, it drops off, to the point where there's only a single frame between the 6700 XT and 3060 Ti. Compared to the RTX 3070, AMD's new mid-range GPU is 12% slower.
